Walking is a popular pastime, but for MedCentral employee James Todd II it's a way of life.

The 63-year-old Mansfielder walks four miles to and from work each day from his home on Bradford Avenue to the Mansfield Hospital on Glessner Avenue. It takes 30 minutes to get to work for his 2:30 to 10:30 p.m. shift. When his work day is over, he makes the 30-minute trek back home on foot.
